The NKT CYKY installation cable is a high-quality electrical conductor designed for fixed wiring in both residential and commercial environments. With five cores and a cross-section of 1.5 mm², this cable is engineered for reliable power distribution in dry and damp locations. The robust construction features a durable PVC insulation and outer sheath, ensuring long-term performance and safety in various building applications.
Advantages
This cable offers excellent versatility and durability due to its UV-resistant outer layer, which allows for safe installation in areas exposed to sunlight. The hose-shaped design facilitates easy routing through conduits and cable ducts, while the high-quality PVC materials provide effective protection against environmental factors. Meeting the Eca fire safety standard, it provides a secure solution for permanent electrical installations in walls, concrete, or plaster.
Suitable for
- Fixed electrical wiring in residential buildings
- Power distribution in commercial office spaces
- Installation in dry and damp indoor environments
- Routing through cable ducts and conduits
- Embedding in concrete or plaster
When it may not be suitable
This cable is not intended for applications requiring high flexibility or constant movement, such as power cords for portable appliances. It is also not suitable for direct burial in the ground without additional protective piping or for use in environments where fire safety requirements exceed the Eca classification.
Key specifications
- Number of conductors: 5
- Conductor cross-section: 1.5 mm²
- Rated voltage: 750 V
- Insulation and sheath material: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
- Flammability class: Eca
- UV resistance: Yes

How to use
The NKT CYKY cable should be installed by a qualified professional in accordance with local electrical regulations. It can be laid directly into plaster, concrete, or pulled through protective conduits. Ensure that the cable is not subjected to mechanical stress or sharp bends during the installation process. When stripping the outer sheath, use appropriate tools to avoid damaging the core insulation.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify that the 1.5 mm² cross-section is sufficient for your specific load requirements.
- Ensure the 500 m reel length is appropriate for the scale of your project.
- Confirm that the Eca fire safety rating meets the building code requirements for your specific installation site.
- Check that the installation environment is compatible with PVC-insulated cables.
Usage recommendations
Always ensure that the electrical circuit is de-energized before beginning any installation work. Store the cable reel in a dry, cool place away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the PVC material.
